Last week Vicki visited an array of exhibitions around London. 'It's such a joy to have our art galleries and museums open again and I have indulged in not one but three beautiful shows recently. I enjoyed them all immensely, they all had very different vibes!'

NOGUCHI at The Barbican.

'Reflecting on six decades of a practice that disregarded established hierarchies and boundaries between disciplines, Isamu Noguchi stated in 1988 that “Art for me is something which teaches human beings how to become more human.” This exhibition, drawing from the collection of The Noguchi Museum in New York, as well as private and public collections, focuses on Noguchi as a global citizen and his risk-taking approach to sculpture as a living environment.

YAYOI KUSAMA - INFINITY ROOMS at the Tate Modern. 

'Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life is one of Kusama’s largest installations to date and was made for her 2012 retrospective at Tate Modern. It is shown alongside Chandelier of Grief, a room which creates the illusion of a boundless universe of rotating crystal chandeliers.'
